رُوحِي الفِداءُ وَما أَحْويهِ مِنْ نَشَبٍ

رُوحِي الفِداءُ وَما أَحْويهِ مِنْ نَشَبٍ

لِشَادِنٍ فَاتِرِ الأَلْحاظِ والمُقَلِ

لِشَادِنٍ فَاتِرِ الأَلْحاظِ والمُقَلِ

My soul and all the wealth I possess are a ransom

My soul I sacrifice, and whatever passion I harbor

for a young gazelle with languid glances and eyes.

For Shadin, languid of glance and eyelid,

قَدْ صِرْتُ فيهِ أَمِيرَ العاشِقِينَ وَقَدْ

قَدْ صِرْتُ فيهِ أَمِيرَ العاشِقِينَ وَقَدْ

أَضْحَتْ وِلايَةُ أَهْلِ العِشْقِ مِنْ قِبَلي

أَضْحَتْ وِلايَةُ أَهْلِ العِشْقِ مِنْ قِبَلي

For his sake I have become the prince of lovers, and now

I have become, because of him, prince of lovers, and

authority over the people of love rests with me.

The governance of lovers has proceeded from me.
